MAKE SURE TO BE PRESENT!

Look at how happy this kid is looking at this duck. He is taking it all in. You might be thinking to yourself,  “Oh, to be a kid again. You would be on to something. How long has it been since you looked at something with childlike wonder?

Today, spend at least a few moments looking at something as if it were the first time. Notice, without judgment, all of the little details. Soak it all in. Don’t get lost in your own head with all of the worries and thoughts that seem to plague our waking hours. Just purely enjoy the moment.

I find this can work really well with people too. Looking at someone you care about as if it were the first time can remind you of many of the wonderful things we often take for granted. I would love to hear about your experience in the comments below.

    1. My grandmother always used to say “Time goes by faster the older you get.” That never made sense to me when I was young. A year is a year right? Now I can appreciate what she was telling me and how important it is to be present.
